United have three games to save their Premier League status and currently sit second from bottom in the table, one point behind fellow strugglers Norwich and Sunderland.

Victory over Palace could see the Magpies jump out of the bottom three should results elsewhere go their way and would cap a remarkable turnaround after they picked up five points in three games last week – a win over Swansea was back up with draws against Man City and Liverpool.

Rafa Benitez has named an unchanged line-up for the previous three fixtures and could do the same against Palace, although Vurnon Anita – who scored against City last week – has filled in at right-back in place of the injured Daryl Janmaat.

Should the United boss stick with the same starting XI that has found success in recent fixtures, or should he look to switch it up?

Should Aleksandar Mitrovic start in place of Papiss Cisse? Does Gini Wijnaldum deserve to oust Ayoze Perez? Or will Rafa stick to his guns?
